How to select the perfect collared shirt for your man.

A well-fitting collared shirt is something we at #Ffbo believe that every man should own!

Unfortunately, many men (and ladies who shop for their partners) have difficulty picking out the most suitable collared shirt.

At #fbo, we understand this struggle and we have therefore created the following guide to help you out!

The good news is that buying the best-collared shirt for your body type is easier than it looks! #fbo has a wide range of collared shirts to suit every guy and to emphasize your best qualities.

The first aspect to consider is the shoulder area. When trying on a collared shirt, the seam must always meet comfortably at the corner of your shoulder bone. Not only does this feel comfy but it also looks smart. As a general rule of thumb, when the collar is fastened, you should always be able to fit 2 fingers inside your collar.

The next factor to think about is the shirt’s armholes. These should not be restrictive to your range of motion and should be high enough to allow your arms to move freely. The sleeve itself should fit your arm neatly, not too tightly, and not too loosely. It is a difficult balance to achieve but very important in terms of both comfort and look.

Sleeve length should not be too long or too short. When you try on your collared shirt, the sleeves should come to an end where your wrist meets the palm of your hand (ie. around 1 inch from your wrist bone).

One feature of a collared shirt that can either make or break the overall look is the area around your torso. When you pull the fabric away from your body, there should not be more than 3 to 4 inches of material in your hand.

So ensure you keep these pointers in mind when you are buying your next collared shirt.

Take a look at #fbo’s extensive range of men’s collared shirts and let us know what you decide on!

Fast Fashion, and how we make it available to all

If you are a lover of fashion and love to dress in the latest styles and trends, you will most likely have heard the term “fast fashion” before.

Fast fashion has become a permanent concept in these modern times, but what exactly is it, and how does it impact you as a consumer? This article will discuss the idea of fast fashion and how we at #fbo are making it available to everyone.Blue ladies frill dress

 

Generally speaking, fast fashion refers to the way fashion designers market and create new clothing and accessories and how quickly these trends are brought about and made available to the average consumer. Fast fashion typically consists of inexpensive designs that are cheaply made, which move rapidly from the catwalks and into clothing stores to meet the moving demands of consumers.

 

A few decades ago, new fashion trends and designs were introduced to the public each season, meaning new trends would occur around four times in any given year. Today, because of fast fashion, retailers are adding new lines several times a week, and this can make it challenging to keep up with trends!

 

What is even more confusing about fast fashion is that there can be around 52 “micro seasons” in any given year! This effectively means that there is a new line of fashion every week. Unfortunately, this can often result in people wanting a particular garment or accessory but sadly finding that if they wait a week, the item may be sold out or no longer available.

Through careful analysis and thoughtful curation, we ensure that the most popular fashion lines are still available in our #outlets when our customers want them.

 

Fast fashion items, by their very nature, are quickly manufactured and turned around. Sometimes, the quality of many fast fashion items is questionable as they are designed to only last a short while. Here at #fbo, we understand that this can be a problem, especially if you are on a budget. Unfortunately, the saying “you get what you pay for” is true for many outlets that sell fast fashion.

 

With this in mind, the #fbo team ensures that all of the international fashion brands that we sell are checked for quality and are 100% authentic. Since we are able to buy large quantities of the most on-trend items, we benefit from paying lower prices, which we, of course, pass on to you, our valued customers.

 

In #fbo #outlets, you will find a wide range of trending styles and popular brands. We continuously strive to offer you the creme de la creme of fast fashion, and these items are all excellent quality, very stylish and elegant, fit you very well, and feel comfortable when worn. So, if you are on the lookout for a specific item that is currently trending, take a look at our well-curated range that we offer to you at the best prices.

 

This extends to every category of clothing and accessories, such as knitwear, dresses, jeans, shoes, and tops. What’s more, in order to bring you these highly sought-after items, the research we conduct around the latest trends pays off as we procure items from around the world and from various reputable companies within the clothing industry.pier one ladies oliver green brogues

 

So, if you want to find a central place where you can benefit from our discerning taste, low prices, and excellent quality, take a look at our website or visit your nearest #fbo #outlet and find the perfect outfits to suit your lifestyle and requirements.

 

Are you a fan of #fbo’s popular range of fashion and low prices? If so, let us know how much you think you have saved by shopping with us. We would love to receive your comments and feedback!

Outlet Shopping on a budget

Are you on a budget but still want to benefit from everything outlet shopping has to offer? Here at #fbo, our ultimate goal is to help our valued customers have access to only the latest and greatest fashion at a fraction of the price.

 

#fbo fully understands the appeal of the best brands when it comes to clothing and accessories. With brand names, you have the advantage of exceptional quality, aesthetic appeal, and the peace of mind that you are wearing accessories or clothing that you know and love.

 

Unfortunately, these famous brands usually come at a very high price tag, making them practically inaccessible to the average person on the street. Unless you spend a large portion of your salary on high-end fashion or you only purchase one or two branded items every once in a while, you will most likely feel frustrated that your favourite brands are out of your reach.Fashion Union Flora Apricot Dress

 

#fbo has heard this common complaint, and, when we founded our #outlets, we aimed to address this problem. With our excellent working relationships with top brand clothing and accessory suppliers, together with our strong buying power and the fact that we buy large quantities at a time, we are able to source branded items at greatly reduced prices, and we obviously pass this saving on to you, the #fbo shopper!

 

In addition to this initial saving, #fbo regularly has flash sales, exclusive deals, and other savings opportunities for our customers simply because we enjoy spoiling you. That means even better prices, and you will be walking away with genuine, branded items at prices that are cheaper than non-branded goods!

 

This devotion to the best prices, quality, and branded items will probably come as the best news ever if you are a fashionista on a budget. You will most likely want to keep this as a secret and allow people to wonder how you always look classy, stylish, and elegant while on a tight budget. However, sharing this best-kept secret with your friends and family will be guaranteed to make you extremely popular!

 

We believe that if you dream of owning a wardrobe full of your favourite branded clothing that this should be possible. Regardless of your budget, our extensive range in our #outlets and on our online #outlet has something for everyone and at any price point.

 

When browsing our range of clothing and accessories, you will be amazed at what you can afford! Whether you are searching for a new handbag, a pair of genuine leather heels, or a Chanel dress, you will find it at #fbo.

 

We give you the opportunity to shop for this season’s hottest fashion items from the comfort of your own home and whenever you choose with our online store.

This means that you no longer have to hassle to get to your local shopping mall, battle the crowds of people and make do with whatever stock your local outlet currently has. This can be a disappointing experience, especially if you have spent hours looking for what you want, only to leave empty-handed or having compromised by buying something that is only your second or third choice.

 

 

By choosing to shop online with #fbo, you can do so safely and securely and take advantage of free shipping if you spend R1000 or more! Talk about saving time, money, and frustration!
